+2024-03-11:
+Intel ICC compiler is deprecated by Intel and the above fix breaks it,
+at least for version 2021.4.0 used in current CI build where it is now disabled.
+The ICC compiler does not truthfully expose __has_builtin and __has_attribute
+which is probably why it fails, but it is hardly worth fixing at this point.
+(The cause is suspected to be a call to unimplemented __builtin_memcpy).
+Use the Intel ICX compiler instead.
 
 The option `FLATCC_RTONLY` will disable tests and only build the runtime
 library.
